Having just opened in November, Old
Fart DJ Bar is the latest addition to the WuFu Road
area nightlife. And if a small, hole-in-the-wall-bar
atmosphere, wide-ranging music, and friendly service
are 'your thing', this might very well be the place
for you. The owners, Eva and Tony, who each have plenty
of DJ experience, are, point-blank, into music. Eva,
who is keen to converse in both English and Chinese,
prides herself in being able to take a song request
from a customer, and with a few keystrokes of her computer,
turn decibel desires into tangible tunes. After just
a few seconds of browsing her many-gig music files,
she'll have your fingers tapping to old favorites from
the 80's and other eras. Menu items recommended by the
owner include the Thai Shrimp Cake (NT$180) and 'Jiau
Yan Pai Gu', and, for libations, the Lynchburg Lemonade
(NT$180) and Strawberry Daiquiri (NT$240). As you sip
your drink, chat with the owners, and enjoy the quaintness
of the place, remind yourself that Old Fart, as Eva
explains, is about "selling memories". --By
